ok, due to a survey i'm doing, i need this information:
a)you'r PC's RAM,Hard Disk capacity,Graphics card,Audio Card, and motherboard make
b) where you got it
c)and for how much

i.e. my one would be:

a)1gb RAM
160gb Hard Drive
128mb Nvidia geForce 6800 (performs at a speed of 256mb)
Soundblaster Audigy 1.0, 24 bit sound
ASUS motherBoard

b)pcspecialist.co.uk
c)£1100

ta for your attention

[Ideas Man]

I don't quite understand, do you want us to provide that info about our setups?

[ajames]

err...yes...
that's the idea.
it's just some research i'm doing into how much people are willing to pay for PCs in our modern day and age...

just look at the example i provided about mine, and then change the values so that they are equal to your setup.

if unsure, go to Start > Run > dxdiag and then browse around the tabs to get info.

[CyberSurfer]

256MB RAM
30gb Hard Drive
32MB ATi Mobility Radeon
Built in Sound
Apple motherboard

b)Apple Store
c)£699

It's a laptop by the way

[NoteMe]

Do you care about persons outside the UK too?

[SLH]

Surely the (estimated) date of purchase would be relevent?

Sorry, i've had mine for so long i can't remember what it costed.

[NoteMe]

And an other thing that comes to mind is the 100000 upgrades done on it after it was bought.

[ajames]

anyone outside uk is allowed, date of purchase maybe, and the initial pc specs

[<ABX]

AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (shows as 1.84 Ghrz but ment to be 2.5 Ghrz)

No, it is not mean't to be a 2.5GHZ

Both the Barton and Mobile are 1.84 GHZ processors...

My AMD Sempron 2400+ is 1.667GHz

[ajames]

AMD processors run at a higher speed than shown.
i.e. my 3200+ runs at 2.8 ghz, but works equal to a speed of 3.2 ghz

[Narfy]

You got a 6600GT a couple of years ago....

sorry, i ment to say I upgraded to that, i started out with a geforce 4 ti4200 agp8x 128mb

[DKasler]

Gigabyte Mobo

[NoteMe]

Didn't know that komplett was that big now. Even in the UK.....go Norway..

[ajames]

Good, that's all the info i need.
it's strange...everyone here spends lots on their pcs, but people in my school have Dell pcs worth around £200.

I hate Dell...
I hate Dell...
I hate Dell...
I HATE DELL!

[dandono]

dell computers are the worst. they are so cheap and they are so slow. i do not have any dell pc's here but at school there whole network is made up of dell workstations. i wonder why the school want me to go around making sure that they all work... you are better off with computers that you make or get made by someone that you know because then you know that it will work the way that you want and that it has the right hard ware inside it. the reason that they cost about £200 is because they are full of a load of stuff that is worthless.

[si_the_geek]

Didn't know that komplett was that big now. Even in the UK.....go Norway..

I hadn't heard of them until a few days before I bought my kit there, but I saw they won an award from PC Pro (highly respected "work" pc magazine in the UK) for something like best PC selling website, which was voted for by lots of readers. I can't find any links about it now!

I must admit they weren't the best of the three companies I got my kit from, but I've got no complaints.

Here in Norway they are one of the absolutely best. Most often best prizes and best support. I bought all my parts for my PC there..
